Petroporphyrins as indicators of geothermal maturation
TL;DR: Simulated geothermal maturation in the laboratory demonstrates that DPEP–etio conversion occurs proportionally to the severity of the treatment, and an analysis of petroporphyrins from a suite of genetically related petroleums and their source rocks reveal that the DPEP:etio ratio is inversely proportional to the presumed severity ofThe geothermal history of the sample.

TL;DR: The lithology and age distribution of a seismic unit characterised by landward dipping reflectors suggest progressive underthrusting and uplift of trench deposits along the inner slope of the Middle America Trench as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Middle America Trench SE of Acapulco is flanked by a steep canyon-incised slope and narrow shelf, showing one of a variety of sedimentary facies patterns possible at convergent margins as mentioned in this paper.

The petroporphyrins of a Cretaceous oil
TL;DR: The petroporphyrins of a Cretaceous crude oil, La Paz, from western Venezuela are shown to be a mixture of etio and DPEP homologues (C 27 -C 39 ) maximising at C 30 and C 31, respectively as discussed by the authors.
